I have a 2004 TL that I replaced the starter on and was
still having problems starting. Here's how I fixed the
problem(thank you Jesus for the word of knowledge):
The positive end of the battery cable had a Y in it with
one cable going to the starter, and the other going
elsewhere. I cut the cable housing back from the
terminal, back to the Y and found the starter cable
very corroded. I bought another terminal, but the
connection was not great. I then went to my local
battery exchange, and he had a terminal that fit both
wires together well. So try this and get your Acura
back out on the road .

I hadn't driven my Acura 2006 for 2weeks. i was out
of town.I came back no power. I got a new Battery.
The next day nothing. I called and got a jump the car
started But today I went to the Store got in all panel
lit up. In about 15 mins. it got me home. Hours later
it hasn't started again.. So tired . What shall I do
now?

My car has ran beautifully since I purchased it about a year ago, from a garage in a low income
neighborhood, and I am now reaching the 200k mile mark. That being said I did have ONE issue
